President Obama was in the Rose Garden Thursday delivering a very serious message on Wall Street reform. The setting was very presidential with all eyes and ears on him. The attention was diverted as something scurried across his podium. President Obama was unaware of the appearance of a rodent until informed by Robert Gibbs Friday Morning.
No one knows what the animal is. Gibbs quipped at the Friday briefing it was “rat”. Reporters said it was a Vole. Reggie Love, President Obama’s body person said it was a “field mouse.”
No word on if the exterminator is being called. But pest professionals says mice are attracted to dog droppings and other things like a garden. Those two items are at the Obama White House.
